DIY Rug. Simple but super time consuming! These rugs are becoming an increasingly popular newborn photography prop. Here's how to make one yourself. Scrap fabric strips (approx. 2.5x12.5cm) weaved into a non-skid rug mat.

Great way to use up fabric scraps! And we always love projects that are kind of easy and mindless:) Easy rag rug tutorial! by craftaholicsanonymous: Perfect use for scrap fabric! #DIY #Rag_Rug #craftaholicsanonymous

Homemade chalkboard paint in any color you choose!

Make It: Chalkboard Paint Yes you can. Chalkboard paint is ridiculously easy to make. The great thing about making it yourself is the array of colours you can make it in! Do a small project like a message board or go big and turn your kids play room into one big chalkboard! Ohhhhh... all the kids from the neighbourhood would surely be over if that were the case! Follow along for the recipe and some tips! 1 Cup of latex house paint or acrylic craft paint 1 TBSP of non-sanded tile grout Mix together until there are no lumps. Yes. That's it. Paint your surface with the mixture. I advise using a small roller for a smoother finish. A brush will give you some textured ridges when it dries (I used a brush). Let it dry completely.

Chalk Board Pain: 1 Cup of latex house paint or acrylic craft paint 1 TB of non-sanded tile grout Mix until lump free. Paint your surface with the mixture. Use a small roller for a smoother finish. A brush will give you some textured ridges when it dries. Dry completely. Get some chalk. 'Sidewalk' chalk has great, vibrant colors. If the chalkboard surface is too rough once dried, sand lightly with fine grit sand paper, using the side of a piece of chalk, rub it over surface,wipe off

homemade polymer clay for crafting needs. | Homemade Polymer Clay At different points over the last few years I've played around with different kinds of homemade "clay." My favorite is a polymer clay also known as cold porcelain. Its main ingredients are cornstarch and white PVA or Elmer's glue. I like it because it's smooth and a little bit elastic to work with and dries extremely hard. It's also relatively non-porous so it takes paint really well. And it doesn't degrade over time like baker's clay or salt clay does. I've used it to cover blown-out chicken eggs for Christmas ornaments, as well as to make various and sundry bowls, boxes and pendant blanks, among other things. | Ingredients: 3/4 cup white glue1 cup cornstarch2 tablespoons mineral oil (I used baby oil but reportedly even vaseline will work)1 tablespoon lemon juiceNon-stick potWooden spoon Steps Add cornstarch to glue in a nonstick pot. Mix together and then add mineral oil and lemon juice. Blend well. Cook over low flame stirring pretty much constantly (you can take a quick break or two if your arm gets tired, which it will) until the mixture resembles mashed potatoes. Remove from heat! Squirt a little additional mineral oil around the top of your mashed potato mass and with your hands, remove it from the pot. Knead until smooth. It's best to do this while it's still as hot as you can handle. Pull off a bit to work with and put the rest in a re-sealable plastic bag with the top about half-way open until it's cooled down a bit. Then seal the bag (with as little air in it as you can) and store in the fridge. Let dry about 2-3 days, then paint, or not.

Bandana crafts - lots of cute ideas whether or not you use bandanas. I especially like these mix-and-match napkin rings.

Napkin Holders (not that I use cloth napkins, but they are cute!)

Bandanna Napkin Ring To fit standard dinner napkins, cut a bandanna into 6- by 9-inch strips. Fold each strip in thirds lengthwise, then fold in thirds widthwise. Sew a button on one end, about 1 inch from the edge. (Choose any colorful loose buttons you may have on hand; they don't need to match.) Then cut a corresponding buttonhole on the opposite end of the strip. Read more: Spring Craft Ideas – Easy Spring Crafts and Projects - Country Living

Tea baths can dye fabrics in an astounding range of colors. Chamomile tea produces a bright yellow; green tea causes fabric to turn light green; black teas tend to produce tan, brown, and beige shades, and hibiscus tea dyes fabric an attractive shade of pinkish lavender. In general, the stronger the smell of the tea, the darker its color. Although the fabric will smell like the tea after its tea bath, washing it once should get rid of any smell.
